KNOW YOUR TEA
Earlier known as Bara Ringtong, this revered tea estate was established in 1864 and rechristened as Margaret's Hope in 1927. A picturesque garden with two rivers flowing through and views of the incredible Himalayan peaks, the estate produces the finest first flush teas. This year's produce is memorable. Notes of fruits arrive towards the start with subtle green hints adding depth to the liquor towards the middle. The aftertaste is of fresh peonies, making it an exceptional cup of first flush 2021 Darjeeling.
